I got this recipe at a friends bridal shower. It was gorgeously surrounded by red rose pedal on a pedestool platter. It is really easy and tastes like you spent hours on it.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and the frosting was too sweet.

I've tried a lot of chocolate cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's rich, moist, and has the perfect amount of sweetness.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was a bit dry and the ganache frosting was too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
